Today I picked up an Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX, I’m not sure if this is a new kit or just been re-released?
First impressions are not bad it’s not as detailed as their Mk1a the cockpit is lacking in the detail department, but will all be covered up when the canopy goes on anyway. You do get a nice pilot with separate arms, which is a nice touch.
The parts seam to fit OK, except for the upper and lower wing halves, The lower wings are two thick at the rear and need thinning down so that it fits flush with the flaps that are moulded as part of the upper wings.
looking very good how do you rate the kit so far?
